A FATAL ACCIDENT.

ST.. LOUIS, March 6.--The south bound
train of the Iron Mountain railroad, which
left st. Louis on Saturday evening, met
with serious accident at Victoria, 80
miles south of here, little after 10
o'clock The accident was caused By the
giving way of the trestle which crosses
Joachim creek at that point. The train
was the Texas express, and consisted of
baggage, express and mail cars, smoker,
two passenger coaches, and four sleepers,
carrying about $50 passengers.
The killed, so far as reported, are
David Byron, q machinist of De Soto,
Mo-, and Sam Meyer, brakeman on the
road. Besides these there were nine more
or less seriously injured.

Thought TO be Probable
The comparative calm that has rested
over st. Stephens Church, New York, for
the last few weeks was disturbed con-
siderably Thursday afternoon. Unlike its
predecessors, however, the disturbance
was of an exceedingly agreeable kind. 1t
was caused by dispatch from the Pope
in reply to the cable sent to him on Tues
day by DR.. Carey in behalf of the parish
toner's, congratulating him upon the at
tainment of his 76th birthday and the 50tb
anniversary of his priestly career. The
reply was received by DR.. Carey about
4.30 p. M, Thursday. 1t is in Latin and
reads as followa;
ROME, March 8, 1SS7.--To d. d. Carey,

telegram was most acceptable to the sover-
eign Pontiff, who, returning thanks, Inn
parts most lovingly his apostolic benedic-
ton to the Reverend McGlynn, to you and
to the faithful Of the parish.
II did not take long for the news Of the
messages arrival to get out and in re,
markably short time il seemed as if the
majority of the people of the parish
knew aboutit. They thronged DR.. Carey's
store, congratulated him and declared the
reinstatement of the suspended pastor tc
to be no longer matter Of doubt. Every.
body was in high spirits. A few of the
older members almost wept for joy,
while some of the boys braved the wratl
of the police by starting bonfires in thu
street.
A dispatch from Rome, published Fri
day, contained the statement that DIR. Nc
, Glynn had at last agreed to submit to th,
will Of his ecclesiastical superioTs and tina
he would go to Rome ut once. As this re
port was said to be based on authority from
the Vatican, 1t was shown TO DR.. McGlynl
> at the home of his brother-in-law, In New
: York, last evening. 1t seemed to surpris
him little. he read II over two or thre

tated this comment on IL:

Murphy was too quick for him and

No Eastern shore road.

CAMBRIDGE, March S.-Inquiries made
of railroad men and prominent citizens Of
Cambridge lead to no information con-
corning the plans of the Baltimore Il Ohio
railroad to build railroad down the
Eastern Shore. Since the failure TO carry
out the scheme in which Gen. Joseph B.
Seth was the leader, ii has frequently
been talked about in business circles here
that the b. & o. was contemplating the
building of peninsular railroad, but
nothing reliable was known in regard to
it, and state director Of the BE o. who
is now on a visit in Cambridge, said to-
day that the subject had never been con-
sidered at directors' meeting, nor, as far
as he knew, had it ever been informally
discussed.

In the death Of Henry Ward Beecher
America loses one Of the strongest, most
Independent and most powerful personGli-
ties that this century has produced. 1t is
probably safe to say that no one man has
exercised so great a religious and political
i t1enee both locally and nationally. In
Brooklyn municipal affairs, his action OF
inaction would often decide cleo
tions, while many attribute the
election of President Cleveland to
him. His towering strength as an
Abolitionist and Union man are matters
of history, while his speeches in England
with the diplomacy Of Charles Francil
Adams, were the two great forces which
kept England from recognizing the Con
federate states. It is doubtless true tina
his influence was weakened in the late
years of his life, but this cannot keel
posterity from recognizing this giant i
: dividuality which worked for righteous
! ness.
